S.T.E.E.L Project STEEL Website
S.T.E.E.L is Students Thriving in Engineering & Emerging Leadership. It is a project I would like to begin, offering very cheap pricing to assist highschoolers looking to get into engineering careers, highschool graduates actively preparing for engineering studies in college OR college students with minimal coding abilities looking to start a portfolio for themselves.

Welcome to the Engineering Portfolio Project! This initiative is designed to assist middle and high school students aged 10-17 (and adults 18+) who are passionate about pursuing careers in engineering. By participating in this project, participants will have the opportunity to build professional web portfolios using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (including React and Node.js). These portfolios will showcase their skills, projects, and achievements, helping them stand out to potential employers and college admissions committees.
- Comprehensive Portfolio Building: Students will create dynamic and professional web portfolios.
- Affordable Participation: The cost for each portfolio is only $20 per student.
- GitHub Hosting: Portfolios will be hosted on GitHub using GitHub Pages (github.io).
- Long-Term Support: Students will receive weekly support until they land a career or complete their college education, or until they decide they no longer need help.
- Career & Academic Guidance: In addition to technical skills, students will receive guidance on showcasing their journey, skills, and achievements effectively.
- Initial Setup:
- Creation of GitHub account
- Introduction to GitHub Pages
- Basic setup of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files
- Portfolio Development:
- HTML: Structure and content
- CSS: Styling and layout
- JavaScript: Interactive elements
- React: Advanced front-end development
- Node.js: Back-end development
- Weekly Support:
- Video chat sessions via Zoom, Google Video, or in person where applicable
- Code reviews
- Debugging assistance
- Feature implementation guidance
- Best practices in web development
- Long-Term Benefits:
- Continuous improvement of portfolios
- Updates with new projects and skills
- Preparation for job applications and college admissions
- Participation Fee:
- $15 per student
- $25 for ages 21+
- Sign Up: Registration Form
- Payment: Secure your spot by paying the participation fee after onboarding meeting with Founder.
- Start Building: Begin the journey to create an impressive web portfolio.
- Prerequisites: Students must fill out a form and submit payment with their name. If under the age of 18, a parent must contact to enroll the child, and adult supervision is preferred.
- Collaboration Opportunities: Participants can collaborate during weekly coding sessions, interact with others during dedicated times, or join the Discord server to build relationships and knowledge.
- Progress Tracking: Progress will be tracked through GitHub accounts, showcasing changes in coding and programming skills over time.
- Project Encouragement: Students are encouraged to include projects relevant to their career path. Younger students can showcase simpler projects like building LEGO sets to demonstrate engineering skills.
- Resources Provided: A variety of tutorials and documentation will be available through YouTube, Google Docs, Discord, and more.
- Refund Policy: There is no refund policy due to the resources provided. The $20 payment is a one-time fee that grants lifetime access to support and resources.
